some of the games that I run using POPStarter have missing textures/fucked up graphics. is it fixable?
>popstarter
Might as well emulate on your computer dude

CRT > inaccurate emulation
nope but it's cool to see how broken some games are, try the ridge racer games, they get some really fucked up geometry

Ridge Racer games are exactly the reason why I ask this.
Yeah graphics look like how Vice City used to look back on release with outdated drivers for nvidia.
There's a pack of patches which you can use on some games. Consult the compatibility list to check.
Just to give you a heads up though - Popstarter is absolute trash. If you want PS1 on a CRT so bad just mod one or find a modded console.

I do have one. I'm just sick of unsucessfully burned games and having to buy fucking cds.

I feel you on that, Popstarter can still give you a lot of grief for silly reasons though. Have a look at the google spreadsheet compatibility list (I can't link it as 4chan thinks it's spam) and take note of any games that require patches or changes and try them out - if your game's red just forget about it.
The most annoying thing for me is games that are listed as compatible but are just 'slightly' off, such as Castlevania SOTN slowing to a crawl at seemingly random moments. It's certainly fine for some games though, I got 100% on Crash 2 and 3 and didn't notice a single problem.
Try PS2PXSE. It's easier to use and comes with a great GUI!

Why do you speak things that make no sense?
This is like saying
Better audio > playing with a gamepad
Completely unrelated, you can emulate with a CRT, you can use the real console with a LED, fucking retard.

I tried that piece of shite exactly once and when I saw RE2 running in 6fps I dropped it.

For most games it works flawless, for those that it doesn't its usually apparent from the get go. Games that I did play without issues:
Final Fantasy IX
Medal of Honor/Medal of Honor Underground
Syphon Filter 2
Parasite Eve 1
Dino Crisis 2
RE 1/2/3
Silent Hill
Road Rash Jailbreak
NFS Porsche Unleashed
Gran Turismo 1
Assault Retribution
Kula World
Medievil
Necronomicon
Suikoden 1/2
..and bunch of others that I cant remember
Games that had fucked up visuals and were unplayable:
Ridge Racer series
Driver 1
Gran Turismo 2
Ace Combat 2
FInal Fantasy VII

You just salty as fuck because you got rekt.
POPS, while emulation, tends to be pretty faithful. Unlike fucking ePSXe or whatever meme of the month emulator you are using. And that's not even going to talk about framerate settings, shitty audio desyncs, audio crackle, missing music and whole other clusterfuck of shit.

>comparing fucking around with hooking your PC with shitty digital out to the CRT to simple comfy ps2 connected to a CRT
apples and oranges shitlord.

POPS is pretty slow though. I find Alundra to be unplayable. It's kind of put me off ever using POPS. Of course I'd never even bother if either of my PS2's could play PS1 backups.
uh.... could someone actually help me set up POPS? I've been trying to for awhile but all the tutorials I find are shit.
